Explain the types of delta with diagrams?

Deltas are classified into three main types based on their shape and formation: River Deltas: These form at river mouths where sediment carried by the river is deposited as the water slows down. They typically have a triangular or fan shape, like the Mississippi Delta. Tide Deltas: Formed in areas with strong tidal influences, these deltas are shaped by tidal currents that redistribute sediment. They often have a lobate shape, as seen in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta. Wave Deltas: Created in coastal areas where waves dominate, these deltas are shaped by wave action and tend to have a more linear form. An example is the Nile Delta, which showcases a combination of wave and river delta characteristics. (Note: Diagrams cannot be included in this text format, but they can typically be found in geography textbooks or online resources.)
